Created by Neville Brody and Erik Spiekermann (who is one of this year's facilitators), TYPO Berlin started back in the early 1990s and has evolved into one of the hottest design conferences in Europe. Taking place over the course of three days, there is a whole host of workshops, events and talks that you can attend. This year’s speakers include Aaron James Draplin, Gemma O’Brien, Christoph Niemann and Swiss Miss. View all TYPO 2015 speakers.
